Paul's book-signing event was a huge success and thank you everyone who stopped by: old friends, many friends we only see during the comic-con but were locked out due to the fast sellout of tickets, my high school teacher who brought along some of his students and I also got a chance to finally meet...

Comics & Tacos Tomorrow
As Paul and I are gearing up for the event at M-Theory tomorrow, we are lucky to get the Tabe BBQ food truck to stop by for 90 minutes to sell their delicious Mexican-Asian fusion tacos and burritos. In addition, with each book purchase, we are including a coupon for a free taco of your choice from... Continue Reading →
I get mail, therefore I am
I love getting packages. In this era of instant messages arriving either via email or on my phone, it's nice to get a big, hefty package via snail mail. It's even better when it has treats from Europe. My brother recently returned from a work trip to Switzerland and promised to get some souvenirs for... Continue Reading →
Next Saturday: I’ll be there
Next Saturday, September 25, Paul -- the subject of many of my posts -- will be doing a signing for his third book, Cool Jerk Vol. 3: Bimboozled at M-Theory Music on Washington Ave. in Mission Hills from 5-8 p.m. His other books will also be available and I will be there too, supporting him and...

We have the greatest pre-nuptial agreement in the world. It’s called love.
I love weddings. Unfortunately, I'm at an age where most of my friends are already married and the next wedding I may very well be my brother's! The wedding we were invited to in Los Angeles this past weekend was a blast and we had a wonderful time. And our first wedding as a married... Continue Reading →
Twenty-four hour donut people
I've been having a hard time sleeping lately. I blame in on our teeny, tiny mattress. A mattress, that originally belonged to me originally purchased in the 80s. Additionally with two full grown adults sleeping on a full sized bed, things can get uncomfortable. And have I mentioned I talk in my sleep when I... Continue Reading →
Spam: The Original Canned Meat — now in nut form
Spam with rice and eggs is fine, classic pairing. Macadamia nuts with Spam flavoring is something new altogether. I've been obsessing about where I can find myself a can of Spam-flavored macadamia nuts after I saw them available late last year. They couldn't be ordered online until just recently. When they were finally available, I... Continue Reading →
When a person recalls the good old days, he’s really thinking about his bad, young days
I was a horrible kid growing up. As the oldest child, I remember getting into a load of trouble by either cutting my hair, getting reprimanded for talking too much in class and one day instead of going straight to the babysitter's house right after summer school, headed across the street for 15 cent ice cream at Thrifty's....

Sitting on the dock of the bay
Having lived in San Diego for a majority of my life, I don't visit the ocean as much as I should. While the thought of living far from any body of water is out of the question for me, the thought of having the ocean nearby is soothing. Just as long as I don't have... Continue Reading →
Lost San Diego – Dr Pepper and Hires Root Beer Bottling Co.
Despite the movement towards new, shinier things especially technology — have I mentioned how much I adore my iPad? — I still have an affinity for the old (vintage ads, old typography and pre-depression architecture). When I recently saw this building sign near Kettner and West A Street in downtown San Diego, I had to photograph... Continue Reading →
My Burning Kitchen... on the road
